Thrive Agric

Founded by Uka Eje and Ayodeji Arikawe in 2017, Thrive Agric is an agritech company that connects farmers with investors, helping them secure the necessary funding to scale agricultural production. The platform operates as a crowdfunding model, where individuals and institutions can invest in farming projects and receive returns at harvest time. Thrive Agric also provides access to high-quality farm inputs, precision farming techniques, and guaranteed market access for smallholder farmers. By leveraging technology, the startup has improved food security, increased farmer incomes, and reduced post-harvest losses in Nigeria.
